Matric pupils in South Africa were given a passage from a play describing the rape of a nine month old girl as an exam question.



And . . .

The Basic Education Department is standing by its decision to include a controversial question in a matric exam paper.

*waits for rusty to come and explain just how reasonable and suitable a question this is for a matric exam paper*

Comprehension? or front page news that we see almost weekly...

I dont have a problem with this.

I'm all for stimulating the imagination of South Africas, next generation of rapists.

We need some fresh ideas

I am speechless. Glad my son neither takes drama nor writes the standard matric examinations.

It disturbs me that I know why a loaf of bread was used.

Not sure it is something I want to discuss. Just think of what happens to bread when you repeatedly push a broomstick in and out of one end. It shows how fragile the baby is and how permanent the damage is - you cannot put the bread back together. It is meant to horrify the audience.

Oh, ok.

Well well well, guess who could pass this years matric drama exam

That is not an achievement.

And they want to take the moral highground and sensor what people may or may not watch on TV

What type of bread?

Probably unsliced crispy bread. The outside would remain more or less intact but the inside would be a mess

Probably pain aux noix.

Cause you'd have to be nuts to do it...
